We drifted from the subject matter in the thread of the Blue Monarch project into the Sketchup arena a few weeks back and that led me to wonder how long Sketchup had been a part of our dialog. The Club was invited in 2003 to build a pavilion at the Coffee County Fair. The deal was that we'd provide the labor and the Fair board would provide the materials. That was a learning experience for all of us, but a Sketchup moment for me. The Sketchup design unfolded before our eyes [and labors]. This article from 2003 describes some of the event.

The CCF is pretty well documented in the Gallery. Before the pavilion was built we used a tent and a little building that was already there, but the pavilion was a hit in and of itself. The photos of the 2003 Fair shows the newness of the pavilion with fresh red oak walls and much younger TVW members. Look at this if you don't believe me.
